Wrightsville Beach Again

We "enjoyed" a slow motorsail up the Cape Fear River today. It was against the current all the way with a brisk following wind. Boaters will understand that this means some spectacular following waves. Fortunately we were able to get a pretty comfortable ride with varying amounts of jib sail rolled out. With 6 hours of adverse current, you are pretty stuck with duking it out, traveling at night, or waiting about a week. Anyhow we pulled into Wrightsville Beach the scene of our big anchoring scare last fall. We stopped for some diesel fuel and it was fairly easy to dock against the current with 20 knot winds blowing us into the dock. Carol and I looked at each other and decided to spend the night pinned to the dock and not anchor out.
